The more people test and benchmark it - the better. Just use 
freecell-solver-2.28.1.tar.bz from here:

http://fc-solve.berlios.de/download.html

I already got some useful input:

1. The Ubuntu CMake problem.

2. The fact that running strip (without > /dev/null) emitted too much 
confusing output.

3. A problem loading the run-time configuration presets (now handled in the 
script).

4. A crash when running it on x86-64 machines. (Due to a bug).

So this call-for-volunteers was worth it.
